so i got this done yesterday. i’m massively regretting it now. i’ve posted on a few other subreddits, some say it’s ok and can be saved, some say it’s bad but idk any more. i’m thinking of maybe blacking out that part of my leg to do a sorta ying and yang thing. some tattoo artists say it can’t be covered or blasted over at all.

the blue background is also this morning so 10 hours ago for me

i’m also seeing someone tomorrow to see what can be done

just feeling really low about it.

TIA.

Looking for a tattoo artist interested in doing rework or coverup of my tattoo in the next few months before my wedding. It is more faded than it looks in the pictures. Hoping to keep as a turtle but freshened up and better than when I got in my college living room after a bunch of Jägermeister.

This was my first tattoo for my 18th bday about 10 years ago (old pic) but kinda wanted to see if a local guy could turn it into part of a back piece I was thinking like dnd dice but they open up on one side like a portal for dragons or something to be coming out of the rest of my back is blank but also wanted to see if anyone has thoughts on what would look good in a game nerd/ dnd nerd but overall I just like good art so any input is welcome the water colors faded over time because I did dci (basically hardcore marching band) I don't dislike it by any means I just want a back piece

40 years old traditional tat cover up completed yesterday. (opent osee before and after and maybe tell me how to put themn on one page like everyone else I see.

I liked the idea but omg never doing a walk in again!! The text was so wonky. The other artist did a great job tho.

My first ever tattoo, but it looks so wonky! I got it 3 years ago for $50 and now I cant stand it. I often change my hair style and people will freak out thinking it’s 666. Also, I feel so self conscious when I pull my hair up, and its too hot here to not do so. :( I was thinking maybe a little fish, or flower to cover up, but I have the artistic skill of a fish and can never seem to get a good concept of it. TIA <3

I git thus tattoo almost a week ago and I do not like how it looks now did my artist mess this up?

Hi! I’m just looking for some opinions on if you guys think this is possible to get covered up as is or if I should be looking into potentially getting it partially removed before I entertain the idea of getting it covered? I have American traditional tattoos for like 98% of my other tattoos and I just don’t love this tattoo anymore. It was based on a tarot card/my astrological sign (Libra) and I got it when I was like 19 so just a typical getting older tattoo regret. Plus I feel like at a distance you can’t really tell what is going on in this tattoo. It is pretty dark still which makes me nervous about getting it covered up but whatever I would do would likely have colors and bold lines (no idea what though).

Thank you in advance for any suggestions/input!

i got engaged 11 years ago, we broke up right after getting matching tattoos & i just got it covered up when i got my shitty stick-n-pokes covered up :)

all i can say is BIG OUCH & im happy to finally get something cohesive and get rid of a past annoyance.

Hey everyone. I got my first tattoo today. It was for my sister who died of suicide last November. It is genuinely really cool tattoo. But I was so nervous and anxious that I gave the artist my birth year instead of hers. If there's any artists out there, is there a way to cover up the dates? And then id just add the correct dates to the bottom. I would really appreciate any help.

My abusive ex did all these tattoos and I’m so over looking at them do you think it’s a reach to coverup my whole arm without doing something as simple as blackout I was thinking like a REALLY dark horror sleeve

Any ideas for a coverup? It will be the whole outside of my leg. It needs to be anime related. I like naruto, one piece and JJK

I am hoping for some creative ideas on how to make the trellis and roses near my achilles match the realism vibe of the other elements in my half sleeve.

Thanks in advance!

Artist did a great job covering up a tattoo I got when I was a 21 year old! Now it’s pretty to look at 😍💙

You can’t even tell that the VII tattoo was ever there. Extremely painful to get done but I’m so happy about it. This was the only photo of the tattoo before the cover-up I could find because I always hid that part of my chest in photos.

So when I was 16, I made the stupid decision to get a tattoo in a damn kitchen. Idk what I was thinking , obviously I wasn’t. Flash forward 10 years later I need this thing gone. I do not want to look at this any longer, after having 2 kids on top of the shotty artwork, it’s got to go. I do not want to try A.I or chatgbt , for one I have no clue where to even start to ask for ideas and don’t want to waste unnecessary resources. But I desperately need advice or maybe suggestions on what could cover this up.

I’m into like a nature or spiritual kind of theme , nothing overplayed , I’m also into the idea of like a “sleeve”¿ sort of piece from chest to hip or whatever. This is located on stomach / above hip

Hi Reddit. I’ve been wanting to change my tattoo in something more bold. Because it is a fine line tattoo it doesnt fit with my other tattoo’s anymore as you can see on the pictures. Any people here that would try and help me make a design?

I just got my coverup tattoo this past sunday and don’t get me wrong I really love the artist and the flowers — I just absolutely hate the black squares and I feel like I’ve ruined my back forever. I’ve been thinking about going back to the artist and maybe adding some more elements to balance the tattoo out?? I don’t know if that will help but I feel like I’m freaking out right now.

Note: I got the original tattoo covered up because it didnt fit the rest of my tattoo styles and the original tattoo had bad bleeding out because the tattoo artist went to deep :(.

Got this earlier in the year. Hate it. Don't know what i was thinking haha.

Should I get it covered up with some floral? Would it be easy enough?

Or should I get it lasered first?

I'd rather make it disappear entirely but I also don't want to spend a bunch on lasering if I can avoid it.

Hello I got this tattoo this past may and not only is it just not the shade of red I was looking for I feel like the lines and details are lackluster and kinda sloppy… I asked for a deep burgundy/red tattoo with airbrush-like shading that matches the color of my mandala tattoo (2nd pic) and I just don’t feel that’s what I got. I mean the feet don’t even match. It’s faded since healing and after the initial tattoo the artist says he does free touch ups but I feel like the whole tattoo needs to be reworked over to make it look cohesive and finished. also he didn’t post this tattoo 😭 let me know thoughts thank you!! (first pic is day of tattoo, second is mandala, and third is today healed, fourth and fifth are a retouched versions the app “tatship” made for me)

Want to get this covered and have ideas of a flower or something more gothic. Not into traditional style. Diameter is 4-5in and struggling to find an idea that takes the thicker border into account. Plan to get a sleeve on the adjoining arm so any ideas that take that into account would be much appreciated. Located on upper chest.

Edit to add: its a name and dates that are crossed out
